Chimney Sweep & Inspection Checklist Pack

A chimney company sells trust, and a printed, itemized inspection checklist turns 'you should reline the flue' from an upsell into a documented finding. This pack includes a 17-point Level 1 checklist, Level 2 additions, and current pricing baselines.

Quick questions

Can I hand the checklist to the homeowner?

Yes, that is the point. A completed checklist with photos delivered on-site is your strongest close for repair work and your best protection if a finding is declined.

When do I quote a reline?

Never from the ground. Camera first, then a written scope with photo evidence. The pack includes the escalation script.

How operators use this

Build a real price book

Use the worksheets to set base rates, minimum charges, and add-on pricing so every quote follows the same system.

Find the jobs that lose money

The margin-per-crew-hour math is designed to show which job types quietly underperform, so you can reprice or drop them.

Put it on every truck

Print the checklists and give one to each crew so the same standards apply on every job.
